project brief
Through an iterative design process, at the macro / micro scales, students will use diagramming, drawing, generative AI, digital modeling, and augmented reality to visualize and test their interventions. Proposals will be speculative territorial infrastructures that embed greenhouse units, each designed as a reciprocal system where urbanism and ecology co-evolve.
project description
Framed through the lens of scale, from macro to micro, this seminar explores how food production can be reimagined as an active agent in shaping future urban and environmental landscapes. Students will investigate alternative modes of cultivation: large-scale infrastructural interventions, decentralized urban farming networks, food forests, and large scale greenhouse ecosystems.
This is where we talk about what the tile does and how it helps facilitate the greater goal of ecological adaptation and control.
We also discuss how the frame is integral to the site and maintaining tile performance.
